Have you ever wondered if the quiet things you do—the unnoticed kindness, the behind-the-scenes care—actually make a difference? Maybe you’ve spent years serving others, raising kids, supporting family or church, only to find yourself now navigating life after loss, divorce, an empty nest, or simply wondering, What now?

In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, we meet Tabitha—also called Dorcas—a woman in the book of Acts who didn’t preach or stand on platforms, but whose love and care transformed a whole community. She was a disciple in the truest sense: quietly loving well, meeting practical needs, and restoring dignity to those the world had overlooked.

When she died, the women she served wept—not just because they missed her, but because they feared losing the one person who had helped them feel seen.

If you’ve ever felt invisible, or questioned whether your small acts of love matter in the long run, this story will speak right to your heart.

And what happens next? Let’s just say—God didn’t let her story end there.

In this episode of Rooted and Resilient, we enter the story of Jochebed, the mother of Moses, a woman who faced an impossible choice in a time of fear and uncertainty. Her faith led her to take a step that would change history—but not in the way anyone expected.

For older Christian women (over 50, or even 60!), Jochebed’s journey may feels familiar. Whether you’re navigating the empty nest, stepping into retirement, experiencing loss, or simply wondering what’s next, you know the tension of wanting to hold on while life asks you to release.

What does it really look like to trust God in those moments? And how can letting go open the door to a deeper purpose in this season of life?

Join me as we uncover the truths hidden in Jochebed’s story—one that speaks directly to older Christian women who long to rediscover peace, courage, and renewed purpose in life’s changing seasons.

What if the quiet choices you make today could change history tomorrow? In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, we dive into the story of Shiphrah and Puah—two ordinary women who found extraordinary courage when Pharaoh, the most powerful man in Egypt, commanded them to do the unthinkable.

These midwives, women who spent their days bringing life into the world, were told to take life instead. But Shiphrah and Puah feared God more than Pharaoh, and their quiet act of defiance became part of God’s greater plan for Israel’s deliverance. Their story is a powerful reminder that God sees, God honors, and He can use even the smallest acts of faith to make a lasting impact.

If you’re a Christian woman over 50, navigating an empty nest, stepping into new seasons, or longing to rediscover your God-given purpose, this story is especially for you. Like Shiphrah and Puah, you may sometimes feel overlooked or ordinary, but your faith, your obedience, and your courage are never invisible to God.

Rooted & Resilient is a podcast for Christian women who want biblical encouragement, renewed confidence, and a reminder that God isn’t finished with their story yet. Join host Jennifer Carter as she unpacks the stories of invisible women of the Bible who show us what it means to live with courage, faith, and resilience in every season of life.
